Recipes from Weight Watchers are always welcome whether one is either consciously dieting or just being careful with calories. Their recipes are delicious, reflecting current taste and trends, not mere calorie counting, and are meticulously tested and evaluated by a time-proven team of experts. Minding our nutrition and our calories, the people at Weight Watchers also know that one aspect of our contemporary lives is a lack of time. Since this can lead to a scramble for prepared foods that pay no heed to dietary concerns, they have offered 250 delicious recipes that can be made in twenty minutes (some even less time).
With 40 years of success to speak of the efficacy and popularity of the program, Weight Watchers is one of the most trusted of all weight-loss plans. In this book, the team at Weight Watchers covers all aspects of the day based on the point system that has helped so many lose pounds and maintain a healthy weight. There are recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner including sweet desserts. There is a chapter for Meatless Meals, another for 15 Minute Meals, but our favorite chapter is a bonus chapter called Double the Pleasure. This section offers a recipe meant to have leftovers which are then incorporated into a second, but different, recipe for the following day.
Included are two special bonus features in each chapter:
Time Saver: learn smart, savvy ways of cutting down on your kitchen time without sacrificing flavor or quality
Filling Extra: discover delicious healthy ways you can make your meal more filling while staying on track to meet your goals.
You will find savory recipes in each category. There are recipes such as Mixed Berry French Toast, Onion-Smothered Sirloin Steak, Chicken and Mushroom Bolognese, Lamb Burgers with Garlicky Yogurt Sauce, Salmon Cakes with Red Pepper Mayonnaise, Sautéed Bananas with Rum and Brown Sugar. Crazy diet deprivation is not part of the Weight Watchers plan. If you aren't on a diet, you will simply enjoy making one of the delicious, healthy recipes to savor. You just might coo a little, knowing what a good thing you've done for your body.
Each recipe carefully gives the number of points, as well as solid nutrition information that includes a calorie count, the grams of fat, sodium, sugar, the amount of protein cholesterol, fiber and calcium. There are color photos throughout by Dasha Wright
